Australian Public Service Commission

Welcome

The Australian Public Service Commission promotes good practice in managing people, supports leadership and learning and development in the Australian Public Service (APS), fosters ethical behaviour and workplaces that value diversity.

We also have an important evaluation role in working with agencies to ensure that the APS is performing effectively and consistently with the APS Values.

APS Career Transition and Support Centre - now open for business

The Government has established a Career Transition and Support Centre within the Australian Public Service Commission, to assist with the redeployment of excess and potentially excess staff and to provide advice to agencies on redeployment and recruitment matters.

The centre will provide tailored and structured services to agencies and public servants, and will work collaboratively across the APS to identify opportunities for staff redeployment.  It will also work with agencies to provide best practice advice on the application and implementation of the Redeployment Principles, to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach across the public service.

The establishment of the centre provides a significant opportunity for the Commission to work with agencies on a range of issues relating to the recruitment and redeployment of staff.

Further information is available at the Career transition centre page or by contacting the centre:
